Whenever I think of you, Mother,
Whatever the time or the place,
I picture a moment of childhood
And a smile spreads over my face.
I feel myself being encouraged
In all I am trying to do,
Whenever I think of you, Mother –
Whenever I think of you.

Whenever I think of you, Mother,
I remember the pride you expressed,
To you I was never a loser
So long as I gave of my best.
Impossible odds – I will face them,
Incredible dreams can come true,
Whenever I think of you, Mother –
Whenever I think of you.
